| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- The end is really near and I just remembered Shimada and Hirose. Also the teacher. Interesting... Is the movie a competition? I do not remember. |
| Golly. I also didn't realise, haha. Thank you for answering. :) |
| Wow. That's some serious harsh criticisms. I don't even think they are considered constructive criticism in this case but pretty much a mockery. Anyways, the last quote sums it up my thoughts as well: "Adults can only judge a small part of us" Our Smiles and Tears are Ours alone". |
 |
| Wow those judges went hard, attacking every single thing they could, even went as far as to attack the eyebrows D: But I like how everything seems to be wrapping up nicely, after all "Adults can only judge a small part of us" Our Smiles and Tears are Ours alone" so true^ |
| Hi Friends |
| What did Nishimiya find so funny at the end? |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| heh, porn movie |
 |
| It is nice to see Nishimiya smiling and laughing at the end. |
 |
| Sad for me to say but is all feels way too cheesy, they all smile and act all friendly. It would be more interesting if it all was Shoko imagination as Ishida lay unconscious at the hospital and dies at the end. Seeing Yuzuru cry as she sees her sister laugh is effective but cheap trick. |
| that judge is too harsh cheer up moment in the end :) |
 |
| Tough judges to please. But the ending with Nishimiya smiling was a nice cheerful moment. |
| That's the kind of criticism that is designed not to improve the film, or to help beginning film makers, but to show just how superior and edgy the judge giving the criticism is. There was also some intentional irony there as the guy who was saying that Nagatsuka's mustache was the sign of an over-inflated ego had exactly the same style of mustache himself. Douchebags are douchebags the world over... It was so nice to see Nishimiya laughing naturally in the family restaurant. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| I really think that judges who are that harsh are doing to it to completely kill the dreams of the kids trying to make it. Then only the ones with the thick enough skins will try again. Unfortunately most creative people ( most people in general ) can't get over criticism that harsh. I guess it cuts down their competition. Some artists and art critics are the same way, very pretentious. There are certain movie reviews who routinely bash almost everything. |
 |
| Well, at least he called Yuzuru cute. I hope we finally see something with Ishida and his old "friends." We'd better when there's only 3 chapters left! |
 |
| And none of the "friends" learned ANYTHING during this manga. It seemed like they changed, too, but in the end, only Shouko and Shouya learned from what they did and live through. That's actually sad since I really like the manga and it ends on a bad note in that matter. Now I can only just hope there's a step in Shouko x Shouya's relationshop to even it out. |

| Maybe it is Shouko imagination. She said "Ih wah gwead ewybody" and no one reacts to that, same like in her previous dream/fantasy where everything was ok. |

| man that roasting was ruthless. didn't really expect them to get shot down so hard. but since hatsk said: . It's for an amateur filmmaker competition for two million yen prize. i can understand the gravity of the competition. also didn't really realise it was for 2mil yen. good that they all came out of it together and can laugh it off! |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Wow. The judges are harsh. But thats reality. Anyways, glad to see Shouko smiling at the end. Last 3 chapters ;-; |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| This chapter was great. Seeing this group of friends getting along as if they've been that close for years is truly a spectacle, considering that they were all at odds with each other not too long ago. That judge from the competition is such an asshat. I'm honestly not sure how he got off making all of those baseless and unsupported claims about the purpose of their film. Half of everything he said was him talking out of his ass. How about some actual criticisms. |
| Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast. Yeah. I said it. |
| Lol that judge has a bad case of shit taste, esp when he just flamed on Nagatsuka's image even those it was pretty much identical to his own...plus not sure how no1 in the audience shouted against those ludicrous remarks... ehh only 3 chapters left, c'mon Shouko! |
 "For the sake of humankind, I forsake my humanity." - Cherry |
| I'm not really pissed at that judge, i've seen worse in this site But seeing the group casually interacting with each other really makes me happy |
 |
| That smile, brightens up the chapter :) It's worth eating a kiddy meal! |
RiukixD said: And none of the "friends" learned ANYTHING during this manga. It seemed like they changed, too, but in the end, only Shouko and Shouya learned from what they did and live through. At least this happened:  Nah but I get what you're saying. I think all that matters to me in the end is what happens to Ishida and Shouko so that makes it easier, but it really is frustrating since we spent a good month or so waiting for updates with chapters focusing solely on these underdeveloped characters. But like I said last time it'd be even more unrealistic for everyone to figure out their problems from this one experience. Sahara and Ueno probably could have developed more and I'm fine with how Yuzuru turned out but the only thing about Kawai that pisses me off is that she gets to be friendly with everyone even though she's probably the most two-faced about everyone there. |
| Nishimiya's laughing at the end was just too cute, I'm so happy they're all getting along ;w; |
 |
| When Nishimiya looked down before laughing, I was sure she would start to cry xD That judge was a douchebag, but I like this chapter. Let's see what'll happen in these 3 chapters left. |
| That judge don't know how to judge. Man, it's their first movie and that's what will the judge say. They did their best though. Btw, I didn't notice that there was a subtitle on the movie. How cute of Nishimiya-san :3 |
| Those last words, so true. I feel like the first fourty chapters were the gold in the mine, but then it had a great chapter here and then. I'm only commenting because I'm a bit tired of seeing the same thing happen to every manga I read to the end, ookami no manshou is an example. So many frustrated expectations, for both manga.... I'd say the creativity and patience wears out. Ookami no manshou had one hundred chapters ; another example would be The Friendly Winter, a webcltoon, different I know, but the author admitted having to doubling the webtoon when pressured by his superiors. Forced is a better word. Still a very good read. I genuinely thought it was very nice. |
| You know people are mean when they start making Ueno seem like a good person. |
| "It's a tragic misunderstanding that could have been easily avoided if he just finished his sentence in time!" — Richard Watterson (The Amazing World of Gumball) |
| what the music guy said - "Do you really want to be acknowledged by those pieces of shit?" LOL the judge looked like an older version of Tomohiro o_O |
 |
| Ueno and Sahara are going to tokyo...hmmm nice |
 |
| Wow, Shoya's interacting normally with his classmates. Way to go! I was pleasantly surprised when I read that their movie had got through the preliminaries. But what sort of a judge is that? That's a horrible judge with no sense of art and not even capable of giving constructive criticism. That criticism was downright destructive, and what's worse, it wasn't even right! He completely missed the point of the movie and belittled Tomohiro so much. His comment on Tomohiro's reason for making the movie a silent movie was just dreadful. He basically disrespected deaf people. Shame on him and I hope he loses his career. But what a lovely moment at the end. Shoko couldn't stop laughing! She was so sweet! And it was great too that she was interacting peacefully with Naoka :) |
 |
| Least they got over the criticism quick |
| One thing you learn after watching a lot of movies and reading a lot of critic reviews, is that the legit critics will back up their claims. Not saying they're all rays of sunshine or good people, but it's useful to spot those who play up the snooty critic angle for attention (which is what this guy was doing). This critic knew that giving constructive criticism is boring and the crowd is more interested in mockery, so he supplied just that. The fact that the movie's creators were young made it even easier. It's good that they took it as an opportunity to improve. |
| The past few chapter have been nice and light, hopefully nothing depressing comes back again |
